George Clooney was so smitten with Amal Alamuddin when they first met that he spent months afterwards bombarding her with emails and phone calls in a bid to woo her.

The longtime bachelor was introduced to the British lawyer at his luxury home in Lake Como, Italy in 2013 and they became engaged less than a year later, in April, 2014.

Now he has revealed it was he who did all the chasing, pursuing Alamuddin with romantic gestures for months, and he even feared she would reject his proposal of marriage because it came so early in their relationship.

Clooney, who wed his bride in Venice, Italy in September, tells “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “We met in Lake Como. She was a friend of a friend who came to visit and then I chased her for many months, calling and writing, those kinds of things.”

He adds to Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, “I wasn’t looking to get married – and then I met someone who I realised I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I only hoped that she felt the same way. I was very nervous when I asked her to marry me because this wasn’t even something we’d talked about before, so there was a moment where she could have turned around and said, ‘What? Are you crazy? I thought we were just having fun here!’…

“From the moment I met Amal until now, the idea of spending my life with her has been the most important thing for me, and the thing that brings me the most joy in the world. I couldn’t be happier with my life right now. I have a great partner in life, and I didn’t think I was ever going to have that.”

Amy Adams and Darren Le Gallo have finally tied the knot following a seven-year engagement.

Reports suggesting the star was set to marry her artist beau during an intimate ceremony at an undisclosed location in the Los Angeles area at the weekend surfaced last week, and according to multiple reports, Adams and Le Gallo are officially married.

They exchanged vows on Saturday in front of close friends and family, including their daughter Aviana, who turns 5 later this month.

Adams and Le Gallo have been dating since 2001 and became engaged in 2008, but the actress had made it clear she was in no rush to walk down the aisle.

In a 2013 interview with Vanity Fair, she said, “I’m not getting married anytime soon,” and she later told Allure magazine, “We both have a very specific idea that we want to do this ceremony in spring or fall, like in those months, but every time I’m busy working. I want something very family oriented and laid-back.”

Singer/actor Donovan Leitch has wed actress Libby Mintz, and they welcomed their first child together last week.

Leitch and Mintz became parents to a son named Donovan Evers Leitch on April 14, and the couple shared the first snap of their happy family with People magazine.

They added, “We are completely in love with our baby boy!”

The new parents also revealed they tied the knot in a spiritual ceremony led by a Wiccan priestess in Joshua Tree, California.

Leitch, who once dated Gwyneth Paltrow, discovered Mintz was expecting his son weeks after asking her to marry him. He proposed shortly after his first wife, Kirsty Hume, filed for divorce last summer.

Little Donovan is the couple’s first child together, but Leitch, whose father is British folk rock icon Donovan, has a 10-year-old daughter from his 13-year marriage to Hume.

Barry Manilow’s publicists are refusing to confirm or deny reports the singer/songwriter wed his longtime manager Garry Kief last year.

A source has told People magazine the couple exchanged vows during a private ceremony at Manilow’s Palm Springs home in California.

The insider says, “It was a surprise… Guests were told they were attending a lunch.”

But those present aren’t surprised the couple decided to tie the knot. The source adds, “They are committed to one another and have been for a very long time. They have a great relationship. Garry has always been there for Barry.

“He’s (Manilow) at a point now where he’s got his career and personal life in a great place and he really doesn’t care what people think. He’s in love and happy.”

This is Manilow’s second marriage – he successfully annulled his two-year union to Susan Deixler in 1966.

Actress Gabrielle Union asked her husband Dwayne Wade to sign a pre-nuptial agreement before their wedding “to make it clear” that she does not need the basketball player’s money.

The star is adamant she is a success in her own right, and made sure the Miami Heat player signed the paperwork before their wedding in August to prove she is an independent woman.

Union tells Yahoo! Style, “For women in Hollywood, when they’re coupling, everything is about the brand. Everything is about latching on to a rising star, so you can kick your heels up. That’s never been my story, ever. I make sure to let people know all of the hard work that’s gone into my career…

“Now that it’s time to get married to a man who happens to play basketball and has done well for himself, I want to make it clear that I have in no way hitched my wagon to his star. I have my own wagon and star.”

Union was previously married to football player Chris Howard between 2001 and 2006.

The star reveals the couple has embraced the idea of marriage counseling to ensure any problems that may arise are properly discussed and resolved, and she is proud of her husband for taking an active interest in therapy.

She tells Allure magazine, “He’s not afraid. He doesn’t feel like he’s not man enough.”

Fergie and Duhamel have also set out ground rules to ensure their family life with son Axl isn’t thrown into disarray by the singer’s upcoming tour plans, as they take turns to play stay-at-home parents.

She explains, “My husband and I made a two-week rule (not to spend over two weeks apart). We’ve already talked about how we’re going to have to trade off.

“He’s going to have to come on tour with Axl for a while, and then there’ll be a break. He’ll take a job; I’ll be on set with Axl.”

The couple wed in 2009, and the marriage was tested the same year when exotic dancer Nicole Forrester claimed she had slept with the Duhamel.

In a 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Fergie confessed that dealing with the infidelity allegations against her husband was “difficult”, but added, “When you go through difficult times it really makes you stronger as a unit. As a partnership. It does for us anyways. Our love today is a deeper love.”

The couple renewed their wedding vows a month after the cheating allegations surfaced.

Fergie told Oprah, “We’re strong today because of anything difficult that’s happened with us. We deal with it. We communicate. Communicating’s the most important thing.”
